Officials say troopers talked with Overhuel the day before while he was waiting with his motorcycle alongside he road. Overhuel said he was waiting with the motorcycle while someone went for gas.

According to a police report Overhuel denied driving the motorcycle when state troopers asked about his suspended license. Troopers said they warned him that he would be cited if they caught him driving.
